Popis: Research in assistive robotics is an emerging field in the last years. The main challenge in designing such devices is related to their wearability in terms of weight, size and power autonomy, in order to build robots assisting patients in their daily living activities. To achieve this objective the feasibility of a new kind of compliant actuator with parallel springs will be assessed, aiming to obtain a more compact and energy efficient actuator for wearable robots.
